Ripley’s Brought Home Some Monumental Goodies

Monumental Goodies

Believe it or not, we’ve acquired three incredible pieces of Hollywood memorabilia from the Prop Store auction house in London! Can you guess which monumental goodies we collected?

Don’t call me junior!

Yup, we have Indiana Jones’ bullwhip from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade! The whip becomes the first major artifact in the Ripley collection from the famous Indiana Jones movie franchise. This particular whip was used in multiple scenes of The Last Crusade, including when Indy rescued his father—played by Sean Connery—from the Nazis at Castle Brunwald.

If you didn’t know, C-3PO’s head had a major upgrade thanks to Anthony Daniels’ request to have a more comfortable costume to wear. This helmet was made from plastic and was intended to be more comfortable than the original fiberglass design in Star Wars: A New Hope.

If you ask me, this will fit my head PERFECTLY. With Halloween just around the corner, let’s hope they allow me to rock this beauty on the 31st. Hey, I was named after Star Wars. It’s only fitting!

“The addition of these three iconic movie set pieces greatly enhances our growing pop-culture movie collection. Ripley’s is known around the world for displaying unique one-of-a-kind artifacts. Together these three pieces give us iconic artifacts that movie buffs and their families will want to see for years to come,” said Edward Meyer, Ripley’s VP of Exhibits & Archives.
